Our neighbor just called FWC as the bear was on their property and in plain view. Local police came and witnessed the bear on the property. FWC refused to come out. I guess they have more important things to do.

the bear was spotted in a cantonment neighborhood today a few miles from the first area he was seen so looks like he is on the move.

I went to school there & did my student teaching there! While doing my student teaching at Jim Allen, there were other dangerous animals in the woods that we had to watch out for when we went out for recess! I was scared to death to take them out there to recess close to the woods, but I didn’t have a choice! About the bear… It’s cute but would be cuter in the zoo or way off in the wild! Right now, it could cause a lot of danger!

All he has to do is go back across 95-A (you could re route traffic until he is scared across) to the 185 acre parcel of IP land that connects to the 3000 or so plus acres on the west side of Escambia river that he came from. There is plenty of habitat to support the bears.
